I texted my husband at 10am that I received bad news about my father’s health and within 15 mins he was at my office, had already called my assistant to clear my calendar (before I could even walk to her office) and put me in the car to go to the hospital. He sat with me for 8 hours in an uncomfortable chair, he lost his entire work day including a court appearance, made sure my mom and I stayed hydrated (important), asked questions to doctors that I couldn’t think of, and never once complained.
I am sure there are millions of partners who have done the same in a loved one’s time of need but in my line of work it is easy to forget what love truly looks like.
If they want to they will.
The gym is perhaps the cheapest possible hourly activity money can buy.
100 bucks a month and you can go for 3, 4 even 5 hours a day?
100 bucks a month wouldn’t buy you 5 hours a day in any restaurant, cinema, club, bar etc.
Cheap.
Healthy.
And some people STILL don’t go.
